Law firm Alsters Kelley has appointed a new senior solicitor and head of clinical negligence and personal injury.

Tony Hall has joined the Leamington Spa-based firm from Anthony Collins in Birmingham where he was head of the clinical negligence and personal injury team throughout his time there.

He has experience of dealing with very complex cases ranging from cerebral palsy, meningitis and other brain injury cases to cancer mis-diagnosis, spinal injuries, fatalities and inquests.

Cathy Wahlberg, operations and finance member, said: "Tony will be a great asset to the firm with his extensive experience, not only in law but in managing people.

"His reputation of fighting cases other lawyers would not is highly regarded within the legal profession.

"He is ranked as a leading individual in the top band of solicitors for both the Chambers and Legal 500 directories of the legal profession for the Midlands for 2015."

Mr Hall added: "Alsters Kelley has an excellent reputation for clinical negligence and personal injury and the opportunity to head up the department is very exciting.

"I am looking forward to my future responsibilities to my team who are thoroughly engaged in achieving the best possible results for all of our clients who have sustained injuries through no fault of their own."

Mr Hall is an accredited solicitor on the Law Society panel for clinical negligence and for personal injury and has been an approved solicitor for Action against Medical Accidents for more than 15 years.
